Core Tip	Late gadolinium enhancement (LE) in magnetic resonance imaging is a critical finding in the diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis (CS), but it is also observed in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). We review the significance of LE distribution in comparison with DCM. LE distributed into all ventricular segments and myocardial layers in CS, whereas it was localized predominantly in the midwall of ventricular septum in DCM. Transmural, circumferential, and subepicardial and subendocardial LE were highly specific in CS. Since patients with LE have more adverse cardiac events, the analyses of extent and distribution of LE are crucial for diagnosis and management of CS.
